How likely would advertisers be to refuse to allow the Adblock ads? I don't really have a problem with ads on websites, experienced users can easily block them, but I see no problem with providing ads for a free service. Many organizat

Why wouldn't they want to use it for fuel in nuclear reactors?

In our solar system? Yes, it's just 7 billion of us, some animals, and one green/blue rock. In our galaxy? Maybe. There is definitely potential for there to be alien life, it's just a long way away. Then there is always the p

I was always under the impression that developers are also problem solvers, hence their ease of also coming up with an awesome enough idea to start a company. Designers are artists. Once a designer does more than drawing and photoshop, they

Who is offering that? I know Google has a $30 million prize for putting a rover on the moon.

A relatively long time compared to our day to day lives. Is it possible for other organisms to perceive time differently than we do or is time pretty much fixed? Also, I'd be willing to bet that our sex drive had a decent role in evolu

Agreed about tired of hearing speculation but he has only mentioned it a handful of times and said he would publish a paper/plans in August of this year (now). It's pretty amazing that a vague futuristic concept can generate so mu

There is not wrong with admiring heros, and I personally feel that any entrepreneur who changes the world and helps humanity as much as Musk has in just 10 years deserves to be called a hero. "Let's start a rocket company in effor

Something they did raised a red flag with the FBI. They got a friendly chat from an agent. I don't know hardly anything about their situation, what kind of things they've done on the internet, or what the red flag was. It seems li

Nobody said they were terrorists, just that all of those factors combined ranked them higher to have the potential to commit a serious crime. The point of FBI agents contacting people and reaching out is to get a human perspective on their

That's not necessarily true. Yes, the FBI probably creates a file on everyone who purchases uranium in the US. FBI agents visit people regularly just to feel out their intentions and add to their file. If they see that you are a small

We should be worried if you have a place called Homes for Hackers with 1Gb fiber and purchased uranium and DIDN'T get a visit or at least an inquiry from the FBI, right? There are a TON of organizations and crazy individuals who are ou

What are you people so afraid of? It's standard marketing. You go in a database with millions of others and your data is aggregated and analyzed. Nobody is hunting you down based on what products you purchase from the grocery store.

I personally see the lack of a Factory Image for a single device as being very minor. An overwhelming majority of Nexus users still choose to use stock Android and have no use for the source code. So what if there are a couple of devices mi

I think their options were either to delay the launch of the new Nexus 7 and possibly break a contract with Qualcomm or release it, let some non-devs enjoy the nice new hardware, and focus on the next new products. Makes sense to me, but I

What other reason would a company (Qualcomm) refuse to allow their software to be published?

The fact is that Google tries to make their devices as open as possible. That philosophy is beneficial to the community, for the software, for their brand, and for the tech industry. If legal issues or unforeseen problems appear while they
